WINTER STORM WATCH for Northern Ashtabula County from 4 pm Wednesday afternoon through 7 am Friday morning. A snow squall could park across Northern Ashtabula County late Wednesday through Thursday night. 6-12 inches of snow are possible in the Watch area.
A few isolated rain showers are possible overnight. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy. Some patchy fog is possible by sunrise as well. Low temperatures will drop down to near 40 degrees.
Low pressure will slide through the Ohio Valley on Tuesday bringing more scattered rain showers to the region. Most of the rain will drop during the afternoon hours. High temperatures should reach back into the middle and upper 40s.
Much colder air slides in behind the low pressure on Wednesday. We'll likely see a burst of snow across all of Northern Ohio during the day. That will be good for a quick half-inch to an inch of snow. We will then watch out for a lake effect snow squall to graze Northern Ashtabula Wednesday night through early Friday. That squall could dump anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of snow by early Friday. Highs on Wednesday will get stuck in the lower and middle 30s.
Highs on Thursday look to be stuck in the LOW 20s! With lingering moisture, snow returns by Wednesday and lingers until Friday. Accumulation will be possible, especially in the primary snowbelt.
The cold will not last long. Temperatures will begin to moderate by the weekend, and there will be more rain chances Saturday and Sunday.
